Phenophase Photo Guides are species-specific guides that provide a photo reference for each of the life cycle stages on the Nature's Notebook protocols. The National Coordinating Office is working on creating useable guides that will eventually appear on our species profile pages. In the meantime, we invite you to help us by using our templates to create your own Phenophase Photo Guides. If you do choose to create your own photo guides, please consider sharing them with us by emailing them to phenophases@usanpn.org.
Phenophase Photo Guide Guidelines
Use these guidelines to create your own phenophase photo guides. You can create a photo guide to use exclusively at your site, or, submit your guide for vetting by the staff of the National Coordinating Office at phenophases@usanpn.org.
